'''Wood Gathering''' refers to the activity of sending march parties to [[Wood]] resource tiles on the world map to collect lumber for construction and research.
'''Wood Gathering''' is a [[Research|research]] technology in the Economy tree of the [[Research_Center|Research Center]] in Whiteout Survival.


== Overview ==
== Overview ==
Wood is one of the most universally needed resources in Whiteout Survival, required for constructing and upgrading nearly every building. Wood Gathering sends marches to forest tiles on the world map, where troops collect Wood and return it to your city.
Wood Gathering increases '''Wood Gathering Speed'''. It is available in 6 tiers (Wood Gathering I, Wood Gathering II, Wood Gathering III, Wood Gathering IV, Wood Gathering V, Wood Gathering VI), each with multiple upgrade levels.


== Wood Tile Levels ==
Research costs include 5 resources: Resource, Meat, Wood, Coal, and Iron. Prerequisites require a specific Research Center level and, for higher tiers, completion of previous tiers. Construction times are base times and do not account for Research Speed bonuses.
Wood tiles appear at various levels across the world map:

Alliances that control territory gain access to resource tiles within that territory. High-level Wood tiles in alliance-controlled zones are often reserved for members.
 
== Multiple Gathering Marches ==
Unlocking additional march slots through the [[Command Center]] and research allows you to run multiple gathering marches simultaneously. Maximizing simultaneous marches is the most impactful way to increase Wood income.
 
== Wood Usage ==
Wood is consumed heavily by:
* Building construction and upgrades
* Some research technologies
* Certain gear crafting recipes
 
Because Wood is needed for nearly all construction, maintaining a large stockpile is important for rapid city development.
 
== Tips ==
* '''Gather constantly:''' Wood is always needed — never leave marches idle if Wood tiles are available.
* '''Upgrade Command Center:''' More march slots means more simultaneous gathering — always a good investment.
* '''Balance with other resources:''' If your Coal or Meat is lower, redirect some marches to those resources instead.
* '''Gather gear pays off quickly:''' Even a partial Gathering gear set dramatically increases returns per trip.
* '''Alliance coordination:''' Ask your alliance to mark or call tiles to avoid competition with teammates.

Wood Gathering is a research technology in the Economy tree of the Research Center in Whiteout Survival.

Overview

Wood Gathering increases Wood Gathering Speed. It is available in 6 tiers (Wood Gathering I, Wood Gathering II, Wood Gathering III, Wood Gathering IV, Wood Gathering V, Wood Gathering VI), each with multiple upgrade levels.

Research costs include 5 resources: Resource, Meat, Wood, Coal, and Iron. Prerequisites require a specific Research Center level and, for higher tiers, completion of previous tiers. Construction times are base times and do not account for Research Speed bonuses.
